Carnage is NOT just a "red Venom" (I am a huge SM fanboy sometimes, but still....TOXIN SUCKS!). Pluz, why isnt he in the actual symbiote costume, just a lack version of is original? Weird.....>.>_________________

Topher Grace is supposedly going to be Venom... I just can't see him being Venom. Maybe he'll surprise me.

As for the whole costume thing, well, look at the X-Men. They aren't wearing their official costumes either but rather some cheesy black leather suits. I think the Spider Man movies are following the Ultimate Spider Man storyline. In the Ultimate universe the symbiote isn't even an alien so maybe that could explain the whole costume thing._________________
